So almost two days ago I had a pelvic exam and found out I was 1cm dilated 80% effaced and baby was fully engaged. Afterwards I had some spotting which I was told was normal.

Today I wiped and found that I lost my mucus plug.(Very hard to miss).
The mucus plug had a brown tint to it. They say usually that means it is the bloody show.

Also it says most people will go into labor after having their bloody show within 24 hrs to a week.

I have started having contractions irregularly since yesterday.

What do you guys think?

Bloody show or left over blood from exam mixed with mucus plug.
